Answer:

an = 12 -7(n-1)

an = 19-7n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 +d(n-1) where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference

a1 =12

We find d by taking the second term and subtracting the first term

d = 5-12

d = -7

an = 12 -7(n-1)

We can simplify this

an = 12 -7n+7

an = 19-7n

What is the solutions of the equation 2 (x+2) ^2-4=28

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

x = 2 x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x+2) ^2-4=28

Add 4 to each side

2 (x+2) ^2-4+4=28+4

2 (x+2) ^2= 32

Divide by 2

2/2 (x+2) ^2=32/2

(x+2)^2 = 16

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+2)^2) =±sqrt( 16)

x+2 = ±4

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -2±4

x = -2±4

x = -2+4 and x = -2-4

x = 2 x = -6

If a cup of coffee has temperature 97Â°C in a room where the ambient air temperature is 25Â°C, then, according to Newton's Law o

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The average temperature is $T_{a} = 81.95^oC$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the coffee after time t is $T(t) = 25 + 72 e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]}$

Now the average temperature during the first 22 minutes i.e fro $0 \to 22$ minutes is mathematically evaluated as

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22-0} \int\limits^{22}_{0} {25 +72 e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]}} \, dx$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [25 t + 72 [\frac{e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]}}{-\frac{1}{45} } ] ] \left| 22} \atop {0}} \right.$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [25 t - 3240e^{[-\frac{t}{45} ]} ] \left | 45} \atop {{0}} \right.$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [25 (22) - 3240e^{[-\frac{22}{45} ]} - (- 3240e^{0} )]$

$T_{a} = \frac{1}{22} [550 - 1987.12 + 3240]$

$T_{a} = 81.95^oC$
